Guild Wars 2

if server transfer prices did not cost more than the price of the game on sale
there might be less multiple accounts . and over all less spying …

but as it is now if u want to change servers it is better to wait for the game to go on sale and get a new account that comes with more character slots

I was thinking … maybe? u do not even need to worry about people picking a faction

if u group guilds with alliances

maybe instead of faction pride- have guild pride

have a system focused around guilds and there alliances and than group them in to factions

maybe have a option so u can say u r at war with a guild so u dont end up on there team

But it looks like a prelude to GvG which isn’t and won’t be supported by Anet. They said clearly that won’t evolve Guils vs Guild in any way and won’t base / balance WvW by guilds. Also u miss some stuff about pugs. They will still unbalance it cos a lot of players play WvW without guilds – so called pugs.

not trying to derail the conversation .

but how would it technically be guild VS guild if there would be random guilds/ players mixed in to fill individual factions

Isn’t being at war with some guild same as being against a.k.a vs some guild?

well I did say maybe …but it would be a nice addition

lol I under stand what u r saying

it is not a hard concept . just seems like a out dated concept

go argue the [suggestion]wvw rework …
he outlined a much better mega server than I am going to try to

I am just in favor of anet trying something new instead of being stuck with the same WVW system

Then why not go play a game with this concept built into the design?

Could it be because every game with that concept, has shut down because players didn’t like it?

what games have shut down because of a wvw mega server ?

$10 druid next week

it was one of the first classes they showed us ..
I doubt they will wait any longer to show us again

whats the difference between a Dragon Knight & a Blood Death Knight

and where does what ever a Dragon Age-styled Reaver fit in to this mess

is this anything like a black knight , white knight , berserker , Rambo , dragon warrior , gladiator , fighter – the terrible list goes on – Rambo excluded

idk but if u don’t get my point by now, idk how to tell u this but I am not good at making up senseless class names.

y it just seems to make recruiting new wvw players harder because of server pay walls
and restricts access to players who have a bad server

it creates a cycle where if u don’t want to band wagon.
and 2 big guilds leave your server- u become forced to transfer because u are stuck with a dead server.
eventually u become part of the problem- or quit the game

y force people to go through imbalanced matchups / or have the same match up for weeks on end

u don’t need people divided in to pay walled servers to build community’s

I would rather have access to populated areas than server loyalty
there is more important things like guild loyalty . and the alliances u have with other
guilds

if anything mega servers allow guilds to flourish because new recruits are not held back by server transfers

I just wish I could say the same for WVW

my incentive to play wvw is to find fun fights attacking defending scouting whatever

what turns me off of wvw is population imbalance , time zone differences ,
and karma training blobs

masks .

there is no way this would happen

some one already said it :
“I can already imagine everyone using Twilight in one hand and Sunrise in the other, to be fair, that is kitten as hell.”

can u imagine the particle effects flying around

but it would still be sweet to Dual wield two handed swords like the hulk :P

26 pages . I don’t see what the big deal is it is just a name

it just kind of feels like guard is trying to hard to be a ranger with all the traps
still looks like It could be a fun class spec though

take my money ! please add this

if thieves had utility kits ?

u could put all the junk traps we have in to one nicely packaged kit
and u would not feel like u r wasting a utility slot on a bad skill anymore

Gern.2978:

All these WoW players coming to GW2 and asking for a “Titan’s Grip” kind of ability is starting to get old.

I seriously hope A-net never adds this.

if u like dark souls or a berserk fan

c’mon let me just one hand a GS with pistol off hand

coglin.1867:

And what do you do at three in the morning when one faction has 300 players on, another has 400 and the third has 750 because oceanic guilds wanted to play together?

at least there would be people to fight … instead of a waste land..
my server is a ghost town late at night

I honestly think if anet tried they could find a balance

sort guilds by language not players

players can sort them selves

have an option for your guild mates to be put in the same instance as similar speaking guilds or something

or guilds u have a alliance with could be matched up together

I see population balance and time zone differences as 2 of the biggest things hurting wvw besides the servers that have empty wvw maps

I don’t see y they would not mega server wvw and go with a faction based system

just because u mega server wvw does not mean it needs to end up like eotm ..
eotm is the way it is for a lot of reasons besides the fact it is a mega server

Berserk …… one hand great sword off hand pistol

ya … I felt foolish lol … was so bummed when I tried to salvage it

they really just need to mega server wvw
and go with a faction based system

it would solve so many problems between time zone differences and population imbalances

please let this happen i have perplexity runes on wvw gear that i want to salvage

the prices don’t reflect WVW population …..

just because my server says very high like all the others does not mean u have a populated wvw

the only people who would pay for a server swap is a wvw player because EVERYTHING is a MEGA server except for wvw

my wvw has been dead for over a year i have stoped playing
the population is not about to stabilize any time soon … i have been waiting over a year for that to happen …actually closer to 2 years now

after 2 big guilds got in to a fight and destroyed the wvw population … when they moved to new servers

i am not going to change servers every time 2 guilds get in to a hissy fit destroying the wvw population

and i am not going to pay for something that is becoming irrelevant in game because of the addition of mega servers.

dragon hunters need a spear

DeceiverX.8361:

I’m absolutely fine with the trap if they give the thief the ability to cleanse conditions in better ways via more trait lines.

this ^ … revealed destroys our access to condi removal

I don’t really have a problem if we lose a lil flexibility ….

as long as they do something about all the useless/buged traits and utility’s

there is just far to many of them

however if things don’t get fixed it will be a bummer not playing the build I want

only need a matching dagger to go with … drools on key board

because it is in there best interest as a respectable business

any business that cares about there costumers and there product
should worry about there costumers experience

i cant see a reason y they would not do something about it

if they where a restaurant u don’t want your costumers eating out of a dirty kitchen
and u would not charge them if they had a dirty plate

EDIT^: constructive criticism is a thing

ya i understand that would call for a new scoring system and a lot of other changes

idk how u would go about assigning factions

do u let people pick there own
do u assign servers factions …. idk

but over all i think any server having a empty wvw is a bad thing !
it restricts a lot of players access to the game mode depending on what server u r on

and the only reason this started at free transfer is because there is servers with a terrible wvw experience

there is a expansion with little info coming out

so assuming things stay the same free transfer is the lesser solution to ask for even if it started the problem

but ultimately i think making wvw a mega server would be the fix

i have stopped playing because my wvw has been dead for over a year
after 2 big guilds got in a disagreement they left the server and destroyed the wvw population
the server has yet to stabilize

i cant be swapping servers every time 2 guilds get in a hissy fit and destroy the wvw population

so ill say what i said in another post

the price of server transfer does not take wvw players in to consideration

the only people who would pay for a server swap is a wvw player because every thing except for WVW is a mega server

but the price of server swap is being jacked up by all the pve pvp players on a server

so just because my server says “very high” like ALL THE OTHERS… does not mean u have a active wvw server

I heard word they may mega server wvw and that would solve a lot of problems between servers and time zone differences …. but I have my doubts it was true :S

heard it mentioned at pax…

and y would mega servers make no sense at all

if wvw became faction based it would eliminate time zone differences

wvw would stay active and u would never have a empty wvw map

there would not be servers with almost no wvw existent
there is some pretty dead servers when it comes to wvw

i do not know if there is another forum for camera beta but i could not find one so
anyway

can there be a added option to invert the mouse so u do not need to hold down the right mouse button to look around.

it would be so nice if i could hold my mouse button to see my mouse cursor instead
and just have the camera attached to the mouse when nothing is being pressed

for aoe attacks all u would need to do is hold the right mouse button
and maybe add a on off button for when u r in a city so it does not make menu work tough

games like tera use this control
and there is a mod called the combat mod

but i think this really should be a in game option i was really surprised it was not there

i think it would add to the comforability of this game

please add in this control

I am in desperate need of this ! PLZ

my wvw has been dead for over a year…
and I have not played this game in a long time because of it

the price of server transfer does not take wvw players in to consideration

the only people who would pay for a server swap is a wvw player because every thing except for WVW is a mega server

but the price of server swap is being jacked up by all the pve pvp players on a server

so just because my server says very high like ALL THE OTHERS… does not mean u have a active wvw server

I heard word they may mega server wvw and that would solve a lot of problems between servers and time zone differences …. but I have my doubts it was true :S

WIZARD BEARD !

I know this sounds funny because key and mouse is king ….

but some times I wish I could just kick back with a controller in my hands
shame this game does not support a game controller

Danikat.8537:

The lack of subscription is part of why I started to play this game. I’ve kept on playing it because I enjoy it.

I’ve been playing since launch and I’m still not bored with it. But then unlike a lot of people I’ve “only” played for just over 2,000 hours. And a lot of that was ‘wasted’ on things like trying to climb out of maps or talking to NPCs that had nothing to do with events. I’ve still got a lot of things to do in this game and I’m going to keep playing until I get bored or run out of things to do.

then HOT will be released ….. and it sounded like there will be more expansions later down the line.

Anet must be doing something right not going with a sub

bottom line sub games r a rip off …. the nail in the coffin was ESO

I would quit this game….

I buy to own !

I don’t even like my cell phone bill .. y would I add a video game bill to the list of things I hate

every subscription game I have played.
I get turned off by the feeling of every second that goes by is wasted money
when I stop paying ’MY" character is “NO LONGER MINE”
y would I grind lvls if it will all be taken away when I stop paying !

… not to mention sub games r simply a rip off

and the final nail in the coffin for sub games for me ….. was the release of EOS !

who cares about server identity

i am sick of a empty wvw map and castles with no one defending

make wvw faction based and be proud of your faction identity

if your guild is good u will have even more chances to recruit people because servers wont be getting in the way

and the only reason EoTM is a brain less train is because u are not rewarded for doing anything else besides running in a train
they are short matches- u don’t up grade anything defend anything just collect points

just because something is a mega server does not mean it will end up like EoTM
EoTM is like this because of the rules in place
and how they reward the players for playing in EoTM

i am not desperate to change servers i haven’t played this game for some time now
i am looking to get back in to it with the release of HOT

but i would really like to see anet do something about the servers there is a lot of problems with them when it comes to wvw

when wvw is fixed ill come back

please allow us to change servers when HOT is released

I have been away from this game for a while because my WVW is DEAD
and has been ever sense a few of the BIG guilds left all at once over a year ago
the server population has yet to re-stabilize !

but i am waiting for the release of HOT to come back to the game
if I end up having to pay for a server swap and the HOT expansion I am just going to call it quits for this game

server swaps r not cheep in this game … and there is no way to pre test wvw on different servers before u make your move

I cant be swapping servers every time 2 major guild leaders have a disagreement and leave a server …. destroying the population !

idk it has been over a year and my wvw is just as empty as ever lol ………

SOOO my server population says very high like all the other servers
but that does not mean that is the wvw population

-server price is based off of population

-population is based off of ALL players on a server PVE, WVW, PVP

-but every thing besides WVW has a mega server

-therefor the only people who would pay for a server swap is a WVW player

-but the price of the server swap is being jacked up by all the PVE players
and does not take in to consideration number of WVW players on a server

I heard word they may add factions to help with the wvw population and time zone differences …… but I am doubtful that it was true

Rin.1046:

I would prefer a melee weapon (preferrably OH sword/greatsword), but if it is rifle at least it should give us 1200+ range options. So long as we can still use the base profession weapon sets, which I imagine will be the case for the most part, I will be ok with rifle. I am predominantly an melee fighter, but providing I can have a melee weapon on the other set I’ll be happy.

this “so long as we can use the base profession weapon sets”

this class looks like it will be so OP ………. aoe tanky melee fighter…..

not to mention the heavy animations on all there skills your screen is going to be filled with particle effects

cant wait to see this thing in wvw lol

lol where was this forum when everyone was begging for rifle on thief

lol +1 .

the announcer mentioned something about factions being added at pax ?!?!?!?!?

it was not a official announcement so I know that does not mean much

but if they added factions it would help the wvw problems

just open the box …
u don’t need to add content…. let us just play the worlds u all ready have

give people a chance to get the old skins again

and bring back the SAB ninja mini pet plz XD

super adventure box…………… please

EDIT: with ninja mini pet .
